Hi there i was given a Foehn & hirsch satnav from a friend in work as he could not get it working, thanks to you guys and your excellent tutorials

i was able to install Tomtom on it tonight, my problem is the final part of setting up the GPS, the part in bold

Getting GPS Signal to work

Load the TomTom Software by pressing “GPS” from the main screen.
Once the TomTom software has loaded press anywhere on the screen to bring up our main menu.
Chose “Change preferences”
Click the right arrow until you see the option “Show GPS status” and select it.
Click “Configure” at the bottom left.
Select “Other NMEA GPS receiver”
Set GPS baud rate to 38400 (com7) and click “Done”
Click “GloNav GPS Driver”
Click done

during my set-up i did not see this

i do get a signal but its weak atm

is the weak signal just down to bad weather (wait and see)
not a very good satnav
or do i need this driver.

many thanks and sorry if its a noob question.

Jon

moved to the correct section

just checked my f+h and my navigo and everything was as you said except that last part



Click “GloNav GPS Driver”


I have never seen or heard of that on the f+h or navigo units and I have set up quite a few in the last few years

so no idea where you saw it mentioned but doesnt seem to apply on these units, and I checked both versions this morning as I have one of each

edit, checking the stipdav tutorial I see he has mentioned it, but I have no idea why

my version is in here https://www.satpimps.co.uk/showthread.php?150383-navigo-menu-files-tools-games-etc in post #1 with no mention of it
